- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cooked, chopped ham or turkey sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Distribute the chopped ham or sausage, cheese, bell peppers, and onion evenly among the 12 muffin cups.

- Let the egg muffin cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
